    Really? I have never run into an issue using paypal to buy anything off fasttech. That is the first I have heard of that.
    I've never ordered from Fasttech, but I have seen several people mention that they won't take paypal if your order includes Aspire products. That's the only manufacturer I've seen mentioned.

    This is from someone that has used the coils and says they are as good as the authentics. No clue on what shipping is to other countries but for those in the states anyways it is not a bad deal

    When it comes to paypal, I've read that it won't work when buying some authentics on Fasttech.

    I've never ordered from Fasttech, but I have seen several people mention that they won't take paypal if your order includes Aspire products. That's the only manufacturer I've seen mentioned.

    I've read the same, Kad. The given work-around is to have something of equal or slightly greater cost in the basket which you then cancel for credit, then apply the credit to the Aspire goodies.

    I wish someone somewhere would do a thorough study on vaping so paypal would finally allow it. I have also noticed that there are some products that are MUCH more expensive on FT. So do a comparison first.

    Some (many?) have been done, Gary. Getting people to accept that the science is correct is the problem...
    Yabutt all independent. I mean an official gov study. All they want to do is tax it.

    I would never trust a government study. All they want to do is regulate us out of existence so they can continue to make big money off Big tobacco, Big Pharma and taxes on both

    I've been following one of the fasttech threads, and saw it there. :)

    I have never had a problem buying anything from Fasttech through PayPal either.

    Me either. :vapor:

    What he said. :thumb:

    Yep. :thumbs:

    I wouldn't trust the Gov't to do it honestly.

    Especially when you so often see stuff like this....

    No Link Between Anti-Smoking Drugs, Mental Health Issues: Study

    A few paragraphs in... (emphasis mine.)

    "The study was requested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to concerns about the safety of the drugs used to help people quit smoking. Funding was provided by drug makers Pfizer (which makes Chantix) and GlaxoSmithKline (maker of Wellbutrin)."

    You know honestly I have had the best luck mentoring people by taking them into PMs. Cuts down on the confusion factor considerably.

    It is not reasonable to expect everyone else on the thread to tone it down. In PMs things can be kept simple.
    The hangout is great for that too if both folks have cameras.

    Vape wild made a mistake, I ordered 4 -30 ml. ,but they shipped me 15.
    let them know. I didn't care for vape wild's juice, but their customer service is outstanding! I'm sure they'd reship what you ordered.

    I am way behind on this FP so I was catching up and started reading where the discussion of the future of vaping was happening. I have lots of nic, PG.....etc., and a ridiculous number of PVs. I just passed 5 years of vaping and am finding that my desire/need to vape is waning. I can fill a 2ml tank on Monday and still have plenty of juice left in it for the weekend. A 30ml bottle of juice will last me a month or more. I seldom leave my house with a PV "for the road"...... all of which I find very strange.
    Wow, that's amazing! Both the 5 years........wahooooooooo on that and getting to where you don't vape as much.

    It's a milestone for sure. Never in my wildest hallucinations did I picture me either not smoking or certainly not without the biggest, baddest PV on the market at any given time. I have a whole room dedicated to ecig maintaining, rebuilding and general care with a dining room table covered with coilers, a flavor tackle box, PG & VG bottles, syringes, ohm testers, spools of wire, a torch, battery chargers you name it......it's there. With all of this equipment available what do I do?????? Buy juice and replacement coils. Makes no sense.
    sell that stuff and go to Hawaii! hehehe good to see ya on the front porch

    I tried Classy's Kabuki
    You leave classy's kabuki alone mister!!! :lol:

    This all may sound complicated/convoluted. But once you have the unit in your hands, hopefully my 'mud' will become your enjoyable/reliable vape.
    I wanted to emphasize this part! Once you have it in your hand it is an extremely simple tank to use and clean. Good flavor too.

    Vapemail! The Bunny has landed!
    wahooooooo

    She might be able to do that with the setup she has now to tie her over until the new one arrives.
    Yes might work not sure. I have done it with the coils in her new setup with good luck I only comment on stuff I have tried only been vaping for seven months so don't want to give bad advice. I have seen people on some forms say stuff is bad then come to find out they haven't used it. Don't see how you can advise people on things you've never used unless you state that it has bad reports.

    @Vape? I agree about the Provari. I was on the list for the first VW mod they came out with. It was a V1 and they made a mistake in that it wouldn't vape lower then I think it was 2 ohms or higher, I had it converted by them for $20 to a V2 and it is still working perfectly. I have that one and 2 V2.5's one is still brand new. The V2.5's work in volts not watts but has never been a problem. I also see that vapeking.com.au sells the Nautilus coils for 2.75 au each Which is about $2 us. Might be cheaper then ordering from US with shipping. I think they also have the metal caged tanks for them and the entire assembly. I have never bought from Fast Tech. I don't really know anything about their products I've always bought authentic. I also don't like the Nautilus mini not enough airflow for me. The mini and the full size use the same coils and it looks like all they carry is BVC's that price is for 5 or more and they come in 1.6 and 1.8 ohm. And the Provari if I was to get a new one it would be the Radius which is a box type but it uses 2 batteries instead of 1 and fires down to .3 ohm coil. Pretty too.

    You mean pry the atomizer open and take the coil out, or soak the whole atomizer? I've still got 7 or 8 .5 in a blister pack, and if I get the 1.2 atomizers for the vice, while not ideal, I'll have a backup when charging the new setup. The time for shipping is totally unpredictable, except ups. It can take anywhere from 9 days to 30 some. Im lucky to be able to try what I'm getting, I've got this far, and so appreciate having somewhere to come with questions. It's all good.
    I just put the whole atomizer in just make sure you rinse them real good.

    Another thing I was going to tell you was when I was still using juice pre made I found a place that I really liked called heathersheavenlyvapes.com. Their Blueberry Muffin can't be reproduced by DIY or at least I have never found a Blueberry that tastes like that. Tastes just like a fresh baked muffin. Their tobaccos were good too. Didn't taste like a ciggy but they were still good. And their customer service is the best. They will make it in whatever nic you want and whatever combo of VG PG you like. Just special order plus if you like a flavor you can get up to 100ml. But like has been said taste is different for everyone. I loved their juice though and they make each order up for the person who is ordering so you can get extra flavor or like I said any combo of other stuff too. They will make it 1mg to whatever you want. Their Peach was great too but I think the company is in the peach state Georgia. Their flavorings are all made by them and they will not sell them for DIY.

    No, no ... The Radius takes just 1x 18650 batt not 2.

    Someone please tell me what I did. I got FT vapemail today. Five sets of kayfun parts to turn five of my Orchids into Kayfuns. One base was defective. The tube in the inside of the inside airhole was projecting above the block. I put a coil on it, and it was an open connection. I fixed the projecting tube by putting an o-ring under the block. Reassembled, and now it works. Why did that fix it?
